Franz Erhard Walther and Jimmy Robert in Poetic Dialogue at New Exhibition
A new exhibition brings together the works of Franz Erhard Walther and Jimmy Robert, two artists separated by generation, geography, and practice. Walther, a pioneering sculptor whose career spans six decades across Fulda, Düsseldorf, New York, and Hamburg, is paired with Robert, born in Guadeloupe in 1975 and shaped by international living. Rather than emphasizing influence or filiation, the curatorial approach is poetic, seeking correspondences and rhymes between their oeuvres. The exhibition aims to generate unexpected interpretations by allowing the works to address each other on their own terms.
